Hip-Hop | J. Cole – Truly Yours EP
Posted by LoffyG on February 12, 2013
It’s been awhile since we’ve last heard any new material from J. Cole, so in light of that he just released this 5 track EP of unreleased material. This is what he had to say:
I appreciate you giving me the time I needed to grow, experiment, and find the direction for my 2nd album.. And I have.
Along the way I’ve recorded at least 4 albums worth of material, lots of it being unfinished demo versions waiting to be polished up, some of them are great songs and important stories that just won’t make the album (either they don’t fit Sonically, don’t fit Theme, or there’s just not enough space) .Tonight, I want to give you a few of these songs because you deserve them. It’s hard as fuck for me to keep all this music from you for so long, so I know it’s been hard for you to wait. Thank you for your patience. Vibe out to these songs in their raw form, no polish.. just a lot of my soul..
The wait is over.
Truly Yours,
Born Sinner
He also announced that his album “Born Sinner” is ready, claiming it’s his best work yet. The first single is set to release this week. Until then, sit back and listen. You can download the full EP and preview the last 4/5 tracks below!

Hip-Hop, Videos | Hoodie Allen – Cake Boy (Prod. by !llmind)

It’s been nearly a year since Hoodie Allen carved his niche in the wildly diverse music industry with the release of his chart topping EP, All American. Since, Hoodie has been working tirelessly on his next album, Crew Cuts, which will be a free, full length release on February 20th. Hoodie has said this will be his “most diverse and interesting project to date” and his first single, “Cake Boy,” proves just that. The self dubbed, “braggadocios, lyrical tongue twister produced by legendary hip hop producer !llmind” will invite you to live out the fantasy life of a cupcake delivery boy…surrounded by a crew of HB10’s. Hoodie tells me, if you like sexy girls and you like the Food Network; this is your music video. Hoodie Mob, will you be feastin’ on this freebie?

Dubstep | R-Rated #63
Posted by Sev on February 7, 2013
F3tch is not a highly known artist for most people, but take my word he is no amateur. Coming off of a EP release just a few months back he is still continuing on with the dark, heavy vibes that gave off through that EP. This freebie has a great use of samples and stays true to his dark style. Grab the free download HERE.
Jphelpz is another artist that stays true to the dark style of dubstep as well, and also just had a new EP released. This guy cranks out tunes like crazy, so if you are into his style I would suggest giving him a follow because he has plenty of tunes out and plenty on the way.
Oscillator Z has made a few appearances on R rated before, but he has been MIA for a while. It seems as though he was feeling very generous this week because he gay away two crazy bootlegs. The first is of Downlink – Gamma Ray Burst and the second is of Genetix – Squid Attack.
Compilation | Kiven – Prep School Recordings Remixes
Posted by Juicebox on February 5, 2013
Prep School Recordings just released their latest EP which features multiple releases from a few of their artists and after a couple plays I think it’s safe to say this EP features some of their best releases. Recently signed to Windish, up and comer, Clinton VanSciver starts off the EP with a huge remix of Kiven’s “Irony” which features his upbeat electro-house sound. Following that is the remix from Dr. Fresch which features a very unique nu disco sound. For those of you who typically stick to the top 40 beatport tracks, I highly suggest you step out of your comfort zone and give this track a listen. All around, the boys from Prep School really stepped up with this one.
Dubstep | R Rated #62
Posted by Mach on January 31, 2013
This week brings one of the heaviest R Rated posts we have had in a while. Luck of the draw for this weeks filthy tunes. Starting off this week is one of the heaviest things I have heard from Poseidon, which says a lot considering it’s his forte. At the same time this is the best Lord of the Rings themed original. Enjoy.
Next is this sick preview from JPhelpz off his upcoming EP, “Termination.” The bass on this track is unbelievable, if was any harder we would be deaf now.
The drop on this new release from Rogue has almost a funk filth vibe to it. I know some will see the correlation to Skrillex on this drop style, but it is still an awesome track. Get bent haters.
Speaking of Skrillex, this remix was a sweet find. Skrillex’s newest EP was bad, but then again it wasn’t all that great either. If this remix from Caden Jester was featured on the EP it would have been great. This remix owns face.

Dubstep, Electro-House, Moombahton, Review | KillSonik – Where The River Runs Black EP
Posted by Mach on January 30, 2013
I literally could not wait for the release of this EP. KillSonik has done nothing but blow my mind on what type of artists they are to be known as. The duo kicked off the EP with a filthy Moombahton track, “Where The River Runs Black.” I never would have guessed that they would drop in a moombahcore track, let alone end up loving it. The first Dubstep track “Walrus” has had my mind going in spins the past few days. I enjoy the mellow intro that breaks into spooky synths, building up to an epic drop that I will forever relate to the mighty Walrus haha. “Slaughterhouse” is by far my favorite track of the EP. It is everything I hoped to hear from KillSonik in terms of a Dubstep track. Close behind in second though, “Je Te Veux” turned out to be the best surprise. When I found out the track was Electro-House, I was instantly excited to listen. To my enjoyment, this track owns face. Every expectation I have had over the past few months building my impatience was every bit worth the wait. KillSonik delivered.
Dubstep, Preview, Videos | Koven – More Than You (Official Video)
Posted by Mach on January 28, 2013
Damn, should have remembered Koven as one of the artists to look out for this year. He has a decent amount of known releases for this spring, including a collaboration with Modestep. This original from Koven is massive. The vocals are an ever so sweet touch, but Koven murdered our ears by riddling them with bass. I will be honest, the music video isn’t much to see, but I guarantee that this track blows minds. “More Than You” is part of an upcoming EP of Koven’s also titled “More Than You.” The EP features a remix of the title track by DC Breaks plus another orignal from Koven called “No Blocks.” The EP is set to release March of this year, no specific date as be stated yet.
